Local Policing Plan Addresses Crime and Anti-social Behaviour
Fighting crime and antisocial behaviour will be one of the top three policing priorities in Nottinghamshire in the coming years.
Details of the Force's priorities are contained in the Local Policing Plan for 2010-2013 published by Nottinghamshire Police Authority and the Force.
The other two main force-wide priorities are to protect people from serious harm and to make the best use of resources.
In addition, there are other, more local priorities set for each of the Force's four policing divisions for the coming year.
The Policing Plan also contains details of the efficiency savings the Force intends to make in the coming year as well as a medium term financial plan.
In a joint foreword, Chief Constable Julia Hodson and Chair of the Authority Jon Collins write: "We recognise that as an Authority and Force we have been under tremendous scrutiny over the last year and we are currently working on improvement plans to develop trust and confidence and demonstrate our ability to significantly improve our performance.
"Our purpose for policing Nottinghamshire is clear: to protect people from harm, prevent crime and to tackle the issues that concern local communities 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year.
"We will seek to improve performance against a backdrop of acute financial challenge in public sector spending by providing an effective value for money policing service.
"We will be increasing our visibility, reassuring you that we are where we are most needed and preventing the kind of criminal behaviour that affects people's lives.
"The Authority and the Force quite simply aim to restore the status of Nottinghamshire Police as one of the top performing forces in the country."
